Brief Description:
The UWC National Committee of
Afghanistan encourages students who are Afghan citizens residing in Afghanistan
or refugees in any other country to apply. If you are a permanent resident or a
citizen of a country other than Afghanistan, you are not eligible to apply
through the UWC National Committee of Afghanistan. Please send your application
to the national committee of the country in which you are a citizen or
permanent resident.
This year, unlike last year, the
application process will be entirely online. This means you can apply from
anywhere in the world and not worry about the selection process’s overall
logistics.
United World Colleges (UWC) is an
educational initiative that spans the globe. The mission of the United World
Colleges is to use education to bring people, nations, and cultures together in

UWC is comprised of a global
network of 18 schools and colleges spread across four continents, as well as a
system of volunteer-run national committees in more than 150 countries. Short

also available.
